Of everything we pay for (non/monetary) in our daily living, the price we pay to be Christ's disciple is the heftiest because you give up 'your life' for 'the life he gives you' to live in exchange and for His unfathomable promises. Luke 14 & Matthew 16 from v 24 takes you through the payment plan and benefit package; you give up your life (worldly identity) , to save it (through being granted citizenship of the Kingdom of God)... Quite an investment! Now i remind you in this podcast how the benefits & payment plan work; there are certainly no instalments, You ought to understand the 'benefits and this life' you are given to be able to give yours up in totality, you are immediately given the cross to carry every single moment in the day, and ascertained means to sustain the Godly life that you actively commit to.
